I hear you on this. My wife has more yoga accessories than one can imagine. It's like getting a dog, at first you think it's free, but then...
(Not comparing dogs to yoga. I love love dogs. I actually do like yoga, despite the silliness of how the people often "pray" to...whatever it is they pray too, but the stretches and poses are fantastic. Really helped my wife healthwise too.)
I've been bike commuting for years. It was odd, at first, it seemed like I really did something big by not going by car. It was kind of liberating in a way, knowing I can just get myself there. It takes about 40 minutes for the ride. I've grown to really enjoy it. I use the time to listen to podcasts or catch up on goings on. And the exercise and stress relief. Nothing is better, after a hard day at work, to just get on my bike and ride. On days when I have to drive or its raining, I miss it.
Growing up I took no interest in German. The older I've gotten, the more it interests me. Several years ago I got my hands on German language CDs, yes, CD. I listened, tried. I learned "Voluns sie mit mir heute abent kommen?" And "Was volenz sie Essen? Und was volenz sie trinkin?" (No idea about the spelling on these.) That's all I know. My wife finds it hilarious that all I can do is ask a person out for a dinner date. 😆
No, seriously, thank you. Your versions really made my day yesterday. I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of trying to use AI nowadays to improve my song.
I've got a second song in my head, have had it for years, even before the Hodl Song I believe. It's also silly, but catchy, I think. I might just get motivated and sing it out and record it too. If I had any music/singing talent at all, that would truly help though. lol
I put them all together in sort of a playlist below, including a bitcoin polka song which I get a kick out of.
My man! Those are awesome! I listened to them while doing a little jog and was literally laughing out loud (glad no one was around). Here's what imagery came to mind, I think this is the order they were made:
Hodl Yodl - the crew is down in the ship's galley, it's dark, they finished dinner, everyone has a beer in hand, the captain is leading the men in song.
Hodl - same as above, but now it's about 2:00 am and they're several beers, they're slowing down for sure but still in the fight
Pirates' Breath - this is the Broadway musical version of a pirate ship seeking all the lost-at-sea bitcoin
Hodl Yodel 2.0 - same as above, but on ice
The last two are amazing in cinematic quality. I think the first, Hodel Yodel, is my favorite because it's got that I-wanna-sing-along feel to it.
If I ever hear one of these being at a bitcoin conference...well, my work here is complete. 😀
I can't listen to it right now (I'm in the waiting room at the auto repair and I'd probably get some very strange looks), but I'll listen on the way home. I'm pumped!
People not showing up for meetings with someone that might be a bit uncomfortable, so that then, the people that do show up (me) have to try to address the person's questions (even though the issues almost entirely don't apply to me). I have to either answer the best I can and look dumb, or give the truth, "I'm afraid you'd have to ask so-and-so on that," and look like I'm deflecting. Either way, it's a bad look for the organization (and maybe me).
I just don't know how "progressives" can reconcile proof of work. No matter how it's sliced or rebranded, the basic premise of "progressives" is socialism, which is taking from one group (the producers) and giving to another group (the non-producing receivers). All that verbiage like a more "just and equitable" world is just framing and marketing of this basic premise. And, this premise is fundamentally the opposite of how bitcoin works.

To get space and use the chain, Hive uses "Resource Credits" (RCs). RCs are like gas or mana on other chains. A newcomer is gifted a small bit to get started and people are happy to delegate plenty of RCs to anyone generally interested in starting.
Then, as you earn rewards by posting/interacting/etc, your own RCs begin to recharge on their own. It's like a solar charging battery, you use the charge when you do stuff, but then it recharges gradually (if that makes sense!).
There are no fees to post on Hive. Unlike ethereum with gas, or most chains, Hive is free to post, comment, etc, which is really nice.
It is indeed an altcoin/blockchain. It's the old Steem, the one Justin Sun tried to take over. The use cases here as I see it:
. reach out to other places and try to get more nostr users
. nostr notes get immutably posted onto the hive blockchain
. persistent, chronological links
. for nostr and bitcoin maximalists, you do earn HIVE or HBD rewards on Hive with each upvote there, they can easily be converted into sats
Heh! Fair question. https://hive.io
